What is Fucibet Cream?
Fucibet Cream is a topical medication used to treat skin conditions. It contains two active ingredients: fusidic acid, an antibiotic that combats bacteria on the skin, and betamethasone, a potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling.
What is Fucibet Cream used for?
Fucibet Cream is primarily used to treat inflammatory skin disorders that have become infected. These include conditions like eczema and dermatitis. In addition, it can be used to treat other skin conditions that show symptoms of inflammation and infection.
How does Fucibet Cream work?
Fucibet Cream works by attacking two key aspects of eczema and dermatitis. The fusidic acid targets the bacteria causing the infection, while the betamethasone reduces the redness, swelling and itchiness often associated with these conditions.
Who is Fucibet Cream suitable for?
Fucibet Cream is suitable for adults and children over the age of one. However, it is not suitable for people who are allergic to any of the ingredients, or for those with viral skin infections (like cold sores), fungal skin infections, tuberculosis, acne or rosacea.
How to apply Fucibet Cream
- Clean and dry the affected area.
- Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected skin.
- Gently rub the cream until it is fully absorbed.
